That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers and served as herein stated.
That he resided during the whole of the revolutionary war at Dedham in the State of Massachusetts and that on the 19 th day of April 1775 on an alarm that the British had left Boston he turned out and marched in the direction of Lexington, and on the way hearing the British had returned to Boston marched to Brookline from which place he returned home having been out five days.
That at the time of the Battle of Bunkerhill turned out on an alarm, marched to Roxbury, marched on Saturday the day of the battle and returned home the next Saturday, having served at that time one week.
That he turned out and marched to Roxbury on two other alarms summer of 1775 & was out at both times as much as one week.
That at said Dedham in the fore part of December 1775 he enlisted in the Massachusetts troops for four months and marched to Roxbury where he served in the Company of Cap t Timothy Stone, Lieut. Daggett, the Reg t commanded by Major Sprout, thinks there was no Colonel. In the month of January 1776 was sent with perhaps fifty soldiers to cut wood for the army in a swamp at Dedham called Purgatory Swamp where he was employed in cutting wood until some time in February when he returned to the en- campment in Roxbury where he was stationed near Boston neck — was in service at the time the British evacuated Boston and was discharged at S t Roxbury

on or about the fourth day of April 1776 having served the term for which he had enlisted.
That at L d Petham on or about the 10 th day of June 1776 he enlisted for the term of six months in the Company of Capt. Gannett, Lieut. Holbrook and McClell, Ensign Waddsworth in the Reg t of Col. Willard. - Almon Howard - marched to Tienderoga on Lake Champlain by the way of Worcester and Northampton Mass. Bennington, Vermont, Skene'sboro' New York - from which last place he went by water to Tienderoga. Was stationed at a place called Tienderoga Mills about one and a half mile from the fort - There were two regiments at the Mills - Col. Willard's & Col. Brewer's. He was at the Tienderoga Mills at the time of the defeat of Gen. Arnold on Lake Champlain. After the British went into winter-quarters marched by way of Fort George, N h Anne & Fort Edward to Saratoga (Barrack) - dined at Gen. Schuyler's residence, at which last place he remained a few days and was discharged on the 10 th day of December 1776, having served the period for which he had enlisted.
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or any annuity except the present and he declares that his name is not on the pension roll of any agency (General State).
Was born at Dedham, Massachusetts, Nov. 19. 1757
Has no record of his age.
Was living when called into the Service at L d Petham. Removed from L d Petham to Frankstown, New Hampshire June 1784 at which place he resided until June 1809 at which time he removed to Malden, Vermont, his present residence where he has ever since resided. Entered the Service by voluntary enlistment and was not a substitute for any person.
He recollects there were several regiments in the vicinity at the time of his four months Service at Roxbury - he recollects Col. Grayson and Col. Wase's Reg t .

It ever had a written discharge.
There is no Clergyman residing in his vicinity within several miles - and he refers to Deacon Merrill Foster, & Nathaniel Farrington & Daniel Wooster Esq. as persons who will testify to his character and their belief of his services as a soldier of the revolution. That he knows of no person who can testify to his services from actual knowledge.
What the reason why he has not made an earlier application is because he supposed it indispensable to make proof of his services, which he is unable to do.
